Alaska90: The Bini historian, Chief Egharevba, first mentions Owo in connection with an incident during the reign of King Ewuare the Great (who assumed the crown c. A.D. 1440). Egharevba says that "Owo rebelled during Ewuare’s time, and that Iken, a powerful chief at Uselu, near Benin City, was dispatched with a large army to quell the insurrection". “After short but severe fighting, they (Owo) surrendered.” Iken himself was later killed, after sending his soldiers, captives and spoils to Benin City. I also understand that Owo also has its oral tradition, which stated that they had a diplomatic relationship with Benin. Again, it now becomes a case of "Until the Lion tells his side of the story". |

Iamgrey5: Take note that I have referred to c.1580 and not c. 1780 (Oyo empire at its greatest period). Indeed, Ketu and other kingdoms or confederacies owed direct allegiance to Oyo until a significant decline by 1836. As for Ilaje been part of Benin empire, the Oba Orhogbua had engaged in the military campaign that expanded the empire into riverine territories. This was between c. 1550-1578. So, you can verify from existing literature on weather Edo had arrived Lagos at that time. 1 Like |

jneutron4000: That doesn't mean a fusion between Yorubas and Idu/Igodomigodo...Like I said earlier, ADE means something else in Edo and the prefix or suffix does not mean anything was borrowed. For example, Ehime means "My Personal Guardian Spirit" in Edo but there is a place called Ehime in Japan and it will be false to deduce that one tribe borrowed from the other. Funny enough, Edo also used to be the name of Tokyo and we can't not say that it was founded by same people. That been said, there are words that are borrowed by people who interact with each other over a long time. 1 Like |

Ideadoctor: First of all, Yoruba is originally in reference to the Oyo empire and it was the name Hausa people called them (i.e. Oyoruba). Meaning an Ijebu man is Ijebu and Egba people are Egba. Second of all, Edo was another empire and empires can comprise of different tribe of people who may not be the same. So, even the Benin empire of today can never lay claim of Ekiti or Ondo, even though they were part of the Benin empire. Even Bini and Esan people are different but know they have a history. Third, the idea of calling people bastards to claim superiority is very weak. The British dismantled the empires and the Nigerian government cancelled history but that doesn't give you the right to insult people who you don't know. 2 Likes |

jneutron4000: Correct me, but doesn't ADE in Yoruba mean crown? In Edo it means "go" or "way" or "came". So ADEsuwa means born I came with wealth. ADEsogbe which is the name of the road leading to the Oba palace means way to ogbe (a community where the palace is) |

Australians have a thing were they want you to have an Australian work experience. So I have seen people with good Nigerian qualifications and experience migrate here only to work with old people. 18 Likes 2 Shares |
